SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III

The SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III reaches 60 mph in 5.32 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.60 s, tripping the lights at 106.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s and the eighth mile in 8.96 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.85 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Leon Cupra R Mk III

The 2017 SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,453 kg with 306 bhp, which works out at 210 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.30 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,572nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 19 SEATs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 106.7 mph, the 1,208th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The SEAT Leon Cupra R Mk III is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
